Good value torch lighter?
So my 14 year old Nulite torch finally gave up the ghost and I'm in the market for a new torch lighter. The Nulite was a $1 gas station impulse purchase and held up better than anything including a $100+ Colibri.
Does anyone have a suggested torch lighter that is low priced but still a good value? I bought a Thunderbird torch insert for my Zippos but the thing failed after a week of daily use. I don't want to spend too much money as this will also be a daily use lighter around the ranch and I want something that I won't feel bad about if it falls out of my pocket and gets lost.

I love the Ronson Jetlite for a good cheapie. Walmart sells them for around $3 or $4. Just make sure you use good butane

^This. I bought a box of a dozen from Amazon for about $40 and salted them liberally around places where I occasionally find myself needing a light...truck, hunting kit, tackle box, etc. Always a handy lighter nearby, no sweat if one gets lost. DO use quality butane, though.

Atlantic Cigars sells a triple flame lighter for $4.50 each. Bought a lot of them for the cigar club I belong to and so far(2 months) no problems.

I stopped buying"quality" lighters 20 years ago. The cheap triple flame torches on the counter of a cigar store work just fine for me. I blew a couple of benjamins on the "quality" stuff before I learned better.

One of the best torch lighters I've ever had is a Vertigo Cyclone. I usually pick these up on cigarauctioneer for $5. Somebody gave me one and it worked flawlessly for 3 years until I lost it. Now I pick one or two when I do a order and give them away.
They have several models, but the cyclone is the best. I picked up a tabletop for $19 as well.

The only true high quality torch lighter I've found is the Blazer PB-207. You can buy the industrial version without the safety for around $50
